I want a HKS style backbox and it has to be 2.5" piping to match up to the rest of my system, Also I don't like the way spoon N1s look on EP3, it looks too small for the recess for the exhaust and also sounds too high pitched IMO

So had decent weather today so decided to snowfoam and wash the EP3 :)

Then my mum wanted me to do her car when she saw how mine turned out..

No pics of that cause no one cares about puntos :P

What a waste of snow foam.

Surprised the fiat didn't fall apart with water!

 

It actually did fall apart, one of the rear grille things on the rear bumper became loose then when mum went for a drive it fell off, we had to retrace her steps to find it in the middle of the road and re attach it :lol:

That puntos only done 48k and we've had it since 33k and it's been the most unreliable car we've owned. It's surprisingly fun to drive (1.4 16v 100bhp, 6 speed manual) but it's such an unreliable cheap POS, mum only does 1.5 miles A WEEK though so it's fine I suppose

Haha! It does what it needs to do to be fair, nippy for what it is!

 

I decided to do a mod today I've wanted to do since I got the car. I didn't want to spend £250+ for a good induction kit but I wanted more performance and induction roar, I also wanted to retain a standard look under the bonnet so I decided to finally do the Hondata airbox mod! It wasn't easy to do and after using a useless dremel to begin cutting, I decided to go old fashioned and use a small drill bit then a small saw for the tighter sections. Worked just fine, I haven't put it on the car yet but we'll see how it performs tomorrow! From what I've read on various forums it should be good. I'm also thinking of making my own cold air feed for it so watch this space.

And finally a pic of the car which I actually quite like!
